Briefly FFTA...
* Uses FFIX's system to learn abilities (meaning you have to equip items to learn abilites).
* There are a total of 42 classes against the 20-25 of FFT.
* The gameflow of the game is similar to the one of LoM, you earn places and then place them on the map.
* The story is a bit lighter and at the same time really dark...
* The gameplay is hugely affected by a new system (that I won't spoil in here) that takes place on battles.

That's some of the main differences, of course that there are more... without doubts one of those titles that you have to get no matter what...

**Yeloazndevil** · September 9th, 2003

is it me or does the story suck?

The graphics are actually VERY similar to those of Tactics Ogre for the Playstation... Which by the way is a FANTASTIC game if you like FFT like games.

It doesn't from what I've read (yeah... I spoiled myself part of the fun). Ebgames should be shipping the game today, I'll tell you about it on a few days (actually weeks

)...

Indeed, if I'm not mistaken FFTA graphics are the best graphics on the GBA... second only to the upcoming Seiken Densetsu.

cloudvii · September 9th, 2003

Do u think that it will be released for psp when it comes or may be other final fantasy

Takmadeus · September 10th, 2003

I have a small question..... is the english version of the game already out?

As I said on my above post, the American version should be out today (or yesterday... depending on your time zone). Ebgames already started shipping them, 2 weeks and the game'll be mine

300 missions? damn thats a lot. that either means the game is going to be very boring, or its going to have a very deep plot. hopefully the latter... obviously.

Yeah but out of the 300 missions lots of them (I really don't know how much of them) are dispatch missions... so it's not like there are 300 missions on which you battle... even so I'm really eager to play that game... just a bit more

Exodus · September 10th, 2003

oh, so chances are it'd be as if in this FFT you actually go on the quests that in the PSX version you just sent 3 people so they could come back and report what they did in horrible engrish.
